Workers are organizing at Starbucks, Amazon, Apple, and Google, to name just a few. But it''s going to take more than picket signs and marches in front of stores and corporate headquarters to win real union contracts with real protections for these workers. To beat these firms and others like them, workers and their unions will need to learn much more about their adversaries to identify key vulnerabilities and build effective campaigns to win. What the Boss Doesn''t Want Us to Know is the first volume to teach the basics of conducting this research and how to use it to build winning campaigns. It explores how to identify corporate decision-makers, profit centers, growth plans, and secondary targets and the kinds of power that activists can use to beat even global giants. What the Boss Doesn''t Want Us to Know is for more than just professional researchers and campaigners. This book offers up a radical new practice for investigating employers. The authors propose a member-based, democratic approach to corporate research that will train an army of rank-and-file researchers to investigate and beat the firms that control so much of our lives. This approach has already been successfully utilized with NewsGuild of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nothing in the papers, not the most vivid and heart-rending descriptions, have made me realise war like your letters'' Vera Brittain to Roland Leighton, 17 April 1915.This selection of letters, written between 1913 & 1918, between Vera Brittain and four young men - her fiance Roland Leighton, her brother Edward and their close friends Victor Richardson & Geoffrey Thurlow present a remarkable and profoundly moving portrait of five young people caught up in the cataclysm of total war. Roland, ''Monseigneur'', is the ''leader'' & his letters most clearly trace the path leading from idealism to disillusionment. Edward, '' Immaculate of the Trenches'', was orderly & controlled, down even to his attire. Geoffrey, the ''non-militarist at heart'' had not rushed to enlist but put aside his objections to the war for patriotism''s sake. Victor on the other hand, possessed a very sweet character and was known as ''Father Confessor''. An important historical testimony telling a powerful story of idealism, disillusionment and personal tragedy.

The title of this deliciously creepy collection of Gorey''s work stems from the word amphigory, meaning a nonsense verse or composition. As always, Gorey''s painstakingly cross- hatched pen and ink drawings are perfectly suited to his oddball verse and prose. Many of Gorey''s tales involve untimely deaths and dreadful mishaps, but much like tragic Irish ballads with their perky rhythms and melodies, they come off as strangely lighthearted. An eccentric, funny book for either the uninitiated or diehard Gorey fans.

Čtvrtý výběr z Goreyovy rozsáhlé a rozmanité tvorby jsme opět pečlivě sestavili tak, aby bylo zastoupeno co nejvíce jejích forem: nezbytná goreyovská abeceda, bezeslovný komiks, veršovaný morytát, kafkovské nevysvětlitelno i prozaický mikropříběh se šťastným koncem. Autorova záliba v morbidních situacích a nejrůznějších deviacích v dnešní době sice možná ztratila svou provokativnost, o to víc však okouzlí detailní zpracování, rafinovanost a skutečně jemná ironie.

The destruction of the French army at Crécy in 1346 and the subsequent siege and capture of Calais marked a new era in European history. The most powerful, glamorous and respected of all western monarchies had been completely humiliated by England, a country long viewed either as a chaotic backwater or a mere French satellite.The young Edward III''s triumph would launch both countries, as we now know, into a grim cycle of some 90 years of further fighting ending with English defeat, but after Crécy anything seemed possible - Edward''s claim to be King of France could be pressed home and, in any event, enormous rewards of land, treasure and prestige were available both to the king and to the close companions who had made the victory possible. It was to enshrine this moment that Edward created one of the most famous of all knightly orders, the Company of the Garter.Barber writes about both the great campaigns and the individuals who formed the original membership of the Company - and through their biographies makes the period tangible and fascinating.

An accessible introduction to mathematical infinity for the endlessly curious  Infinity has traditionally been a topic for philosophers, physicists, and artists, and it can be large, scary, or highly metaphorical. For mathematicians, however, infinity is not frightening or hopelessly abstract (though it is certainly big) but rather is a normal part of their work. In this guide, award-winning professor and author Edward R. Scheinerman offers an exploration of infinity for the curious. This is real math for real people, and you do not need a mastery of calculus to understand and enjoy it.  Through witty and accessible prose, along with many illustrations, Scheinerman demonstrates how infinity is used in algebra, geometry, and logic, touching on hyperreal numbers, the hyperbolic plane, transfinite ordinals, and more. He ends each chapter with tantalizing questions to inspire readers toward further—infinite?—investigation. This book, by the author of The Mathematics Lover’s Companion, is for students, mathophiles, engineers, scientists, accountants—even people who fear mathematics!

Jiří Hauschka (narozen 1965 v Šumperku) se obrací k tomu typu malířství, pro které jsou důležité barvy a symbolické konotace, tak jak tomu bylo na přelomu 19. a 20. století - v tomto období se Jiří Hauschka vztahuje zejména ke kanadskému malíři Tomovi Thomsonovi, který žil v letech 1877 až 1917 - či jak se děje v ateliérech soudobých autorů, jako jsou kupříkladu Daniel Richter nebo Peter Doig. Realita se proměňuje v malířské naraci na vrstevnaté vyprávění, kde se mísí umělecká paměť s novými zážitky, pohledy, touhami, citovými zjitřeními. V případě Jiřího Hauschky se ocitáme v divočině, v divočině malířské nostalgie, kde hledáme člověka, a v urbánní civilizaci, v té civilizaci, která je na pokraji svých možností a kde tak cítíme a vidíme barvy divočiny. Autory textů jsou Martin Dostál a slovutný britský kunsthistorik Edward Lucie-Smith. Jiří Hauschka (born 1965 in Šumperk) turns to this type of painting method that utilizes colours and symbolic connotations, prevalent at the turn of the 20th century - he positions himself in that period next to the Canadian painter Tom Thomson (1877-1917) - and used by contemporary painters such as Daniel Richter or Peter Doig.

In 1930 the great economist Keynes predicted that, over the next century, income would rise steadily, people''s basic needs would be met and no one would have to work more than fifteen hours a week. Why was he wrong?Robert and Edward Skidelsky argue that wealth is not - or should not be - an end in itself, but a means to ''the good life''. Tracing the concept from Aristotle to the present, they show how far modern life has strayed from that ideal. They reject the idea that there is any single measure of human progress, whether GDP or ''happiness'', and instead describe the seven elements which, they argue, make up the good life, and the policies that could realize them.ROBERT SKIDELSKY is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick. His biography of Keynes received numerous prizes, including the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Council on Foreign Relations Prize for International Relations. He was made a life peer in 1991, and a Fellow of the British Academy in 1994.EDWARD SKIDELSKY is a lecturer in the Philosophy Department of the University of Exeter.

In 1688, a group of leading politicians invited the Dutch prince William of Orange over to England to challenge the rule of the catholic James II. When James''s army deserted him he fled to France, leaving the throne open to William and Mary. During the following year a series of bills were passed which many believe marked the triumph of constitutional monarchy as a system of government. In this radical new interpretation of the Glorious Revolution, Edward Vallance challenges the view that it was a bloodless coup in the name of progress and wonders whether in fact it created as many problems as it addressed. Certainly in Scotland and Ireland the Revolution was characterised by warfare and massacre. Beautifully written, full of lively pen portraits of contemporary characters and evocative of the increasing climate of fear at the threat of popery, this new book fills a gap in the popular history market and sets to elevate Edward Vallance to the highest league of popular historians.

The mountain paths are as treacherous as they are steep – the more so in the dark and in winter. Even for the fit the journey is a formidable challenge. Hundreds of those who climbed through the Pyrenees during the Second World War were malnourished and exhausted after weeks on the run hiding in barns and attics. Many never even reached the Spanish border. Today their bravery and endurance is commemorated each July by a trek along the Chemin de la Liberté – the toughest and most dangerous of wartime routes. From his fellow pilgrims Edward Stourton uncovers stories of midnight scrambles across rooftops and drops from speeding trains; burning Lancasters, doomed love affairs, horrific murder and astonishing heroism. The lives of the men, women and children who were drawn by the war to the Pyrenees often read as breathtakingly exciting adventure, but they were led against a background of intense fear, mounting persecution and appalling risk. Drawing on interviews with the few remaining survivors and the families of those who were there, Edward Stourton’s vivid history of this little-known aspect of the Second World War is shocking, dramatic and intensely moving.

This book presents an audacious account of the ways in which the arts in the Americas were modernized during the first half of the 20th century. Rather than viewing modernization as a steady progression from one "ism" to another, Edward Sullivan adopts a comparative approach, drawing his examples from North America, the Caribbean, Central, and South America. By considering the Americas in this hemispheric sense he is able to tease out many stories of art and focus on the ways in which artists from different regions not only adapted and experimented with visual expression, but also absorbed trans-national as well as international influences. He shows how this rich diversity is most evident in the various forms of abstract art that emerged throughout the Americas and which in turn had an impact on art throughout the world.

A concise history of one of the most important figures in history: the father of modern medicine and inventor of vaccines Edward Jenner is a giant of modern medicine. Throughout history, smallpox had plagued humanity with disfigurement, blindness and death. It was an incurable blight, the suffering of which Jenner helped to end.Surmising from the immunity of milkmaids that cowpox might be some defenze against the ravages of smallpox, in 1793 he took some of the matter from a human case of cowpox and inserted it into the arm of a young boy. To test this, the first human-to-human vaccination, he subsequently inoculated the boy with smallpox itself, and found him to be immune from the disease. In 1979 smallpox was declared extinct.In this concise biography, Rob Boddice tells the story of JennerÂ’s life, his medical vision and his profound legacy. It is a story that encompasses revolutions in medical experimentation, public health provision and the prevention of other diseases, from anthrax to measles, but above all it highlights the profound impact that JennerÂ’s vision has had upon humanityÂ’s battle against disease.

From global navigation to natal charts to memory palaces and beyond, a thrilling journey through humanity’s visualization of new spaces.  When you give directions, do you tell someone to go straight ahead and turn left? Or do you suggest that they head north before moving west? Your answer reveals more than you might think.  In A Sense of Space, writer and physicist John Edward Huth uses these two kinds of navigation—either centered on or independent of people—to help readers chart a path through evolving spatial models. In doing so, he offers an astonishing exploration of how changing scientific models of space alter our social perceptions, and vice versa. New visions of space can emanate from human considerations, he argues, and those new visions can in turn spawn new cultural phenomena. With accessible introductions to topics including mental maps, astrology, astronomy, particle physics, and Einstein’s relativity, Huth makes clear that, although our minds have evolved to comprehend space in terrestrial distances, we routinely extend this understanding to realms far removed from our everyday experiences, from cosmological to subatomic scales.  Taking us across the eons from the myth of a flat earth to the mysteries of the multiverse, A ...

A useful appeal for vigilance'' - Sunday Times''Highly informed, crisply written and alarming ... Wise up and stick together is the concluding message in Lucas''s outstanding book'' - Michael Burleigh, Evening Standard______________________________________ While most of the world was lauding the stability and economic growth that Vladimir Putin’s ex-KGB regime had brought to Russia, Edward Lucas was ringing alarm bells. First published in 2008 and since revised, The New Cold War remains the most insightful and informative account of Russia today. It depicts the regime’s crushing of independent institutions and silencing of critics, taking Russia far away from the European mainstream. It highlights the Kremlin’s use of the energy weapon in Europe, the bullying of countries in the former Soviet empire, such as Estonia, Georgia and Ukraine – and the way that Russian money weakens the West’s will to resist. Now updated with an incisive analysis of Russia’s seizure of Crimea and its destabilisation of Ukraine, The New Cold War unpicks the roots of the Kremlin’s ideology and exposes the West’s naive belief that Putin’s ...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster''I had got an idea that everyone here spent their lives in making little sacrifices for objects they didn''t care for, to please people they didn''t love; that they never learned to be sincere - and, what''s as bad, never learned how to enjoy themselves'' E. M. Forster''s first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband''s family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on decorous Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, Where Angels Fear to Tread is also a profound exploration of character and virtue.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
